Synthetic computing even on the quantum level is restricted by the static-state nature of the algorithms encoded into the processing core. Certain organic molecules have been developed that are capable of fuzzy logic, or best guess algorithms, when processing data making them very similar to how living organisms operate. Calculations that traditional optronic chips are incapable of solving are easily guessed by bio-neural processors. The primary function of the bio-neural processors on board space-ships is to perform optimal fuel, navigational, and tactical calculations across an exponentially increasing field of inputed data. Bio-neural processors have also been developed by Gallic commercial firms to create a wide range of consumer products, such as holo-entertainment bands.

CRYOCUBES

Cryocubes are built with a liquid core of Neon gas that, when activated on its highest setting, is capable of lowering surrounding temperatures far below the freezing point fast enough to flash-freeze even solid materials. Cryocubes are built with iridium shielding to prevent the escape of the ultraviolet radiation that is a by-product of the Neon activation process, and they also possess redundant self-destruct mechanisms that prevent both the loss of Gallic Metals' most profitable trade secret, and also prevent a cryocube from ever being serviced. The industrial and commercial advantages for storage and transport of decayable commodities, as well as the potential for large-scale air cooling of industrial facilities far outweighs the replacement cost of cryocubes, making them the first choice for large-scale cooling and freezing applications.

HOLO-TAINMENT BANDS

The most lucrative application of bio-neural processors is the development of interactive holo-tainment, which is achieved through the use of a band worn around the head that directly interfaces with a person's brain and literally reads their thoughts. The band responds by creating a virtual reality in the mind of the user according to pre-programmed scenarios and manipulates their neural impulses so that they perceive themselves as actually participating in the activities that the band is programmed with. Popular holo-tainment scenarios include exotic vacations and allowing a user to perceptually "become" a character in a fictional storyline. Since all bio-neural processors are organic, they degrade over time as they age and the holo-entertainment bands must be replaced.

TOBACCO

Tobacco is produced from the processed leaves of a leafy plant in the nicotiana genus of fauna and has been used in human communities for thousands of years for ceremonial, medicinal, and recreational purposes. All methods of tobacco consumption result in varying quantities of nicotine being absorbed into the user's bloodstream which creates a biological dependence on the substance. Tobacco may be smoked, sniffed, or placed directly into the mouth for absorption of the nicotine.

WINE

Wine is an alcoholic beverage that has been a part of many cultures since the beginning of human civilization. It is produced by fermenting crushed grapes using various types of yeast which consume the sugars found in the grapes and convert them into alcohol. Virtually all wines originate from Gallia, and there is a thriving market for them across Sirius, where real alcohol is in short supply.
